The man that wrote Amazing Grace had to suffer before he wrote this song.
He was a slave trader ... when the Coast Guard caught up with him one time he ordered all of his slaves thrown overboard with their chains still on before the Coast Guard could catch up with him. This was back in the old ship sailing days.

His heart wrote this ... perhaps we have to suffer in order to understand.

Lyrics
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found.
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see
